You’ll have a great time, but don’t take our word for it…

Totally outstanding in all aspects. The Pelagian was absolutely amazing.

Everything was wonderful! This was luxury diving at its finest. The entire staff was so accommodating and friendly, the food was great, the boat was very nice and spacious, and the diving was always great. We will be back!

Wakatobi is the most considerate dive resort imaginable. The attention to detail, the thoughtful attention to divers, snorkellers and guests is outstanding. The physical layout, meals, and service all reflect the highest ecological and personal standards. We are now spoiled by Wakatobi’s level of excellence.

Many thanks for making this Wakatobi dive trip the best vacation we have ever had! The week on the Pelagian was fantastic. The crew was exceptional! The food on the Pelagian was excellent — many choices and great variety, with abundant snacks! The captain brought us to the most beautiful dive spots in the world.

We then spent several days at Wakatobi Resort. The service was the very best — everyone learns and remembers your name. The food was first class, and the accommodations were amazing. The dive experience was unsurpassed! Our dive guide kept us safe and shared the most beautiful dive locations in the world with us.

Our diving experience was wonderful on both the Pelagian and at the resort. The staff took care of everything — our diving equipment was always set up in advance, we always received help putting everything on, and after each dive everything was properly stored. Prior to each dive we received a detailed and very enjoyable dive orientation. I also received a lot of help with a new camera system, with exceptional instruction from the resort’s photographer. The day prior to departure our dive equipment was washed, dried, and brought to our bungalow. We hope to return to Wakatobi — truly a diver’s dream paradise!

An all-around wonderful vacation. The staff were very attentive and genuinely friendly from the heart — not fake or rehearsed. The food was excellent, and even for guests who can’t eat everything there was always something nice available, including special orders which we especially appreciated. The boats were well-maintained, equipped for almost anything, and with a really clean washroom area. The dive centre and camera room were simply great. The boutique has everything you need.

Very lovely stay. Loved the outdoor shower and the very well stocked toiletries, which I was happy to see were plastic-free. The behind-the-scenes effort in timing and organisation was very impressive — efficient but not rushed. The décor and feel of the rooms is authentic but with modernity and comfort in mind. I enjoyed that there is no TV anywhere. Food was lovely. Overall, we had a wonderful time, would definitely recommend to others, and hopefully return ourselves!

We enjoyed our stay at Wakatobi resort very much. The service topped everything we have ever experienced! Everybody at Wakatobi resort is committed to excellence and made our holiday an awesome time! Thank you for the opportunity to dive the cave.

The dining was exquisite. The staff were so impressive with greeting everyone by name and making us all feel special individually. Valet diving at its very best — this is the top diving service I’ve experienced out of all the advertised valet services I’ve tried. Our boat crew member was always ahead of the game and quietly did so many things to make the diving seem effortless — great attention to detail, truly exceptional. Our dive master made this trip one of the most memorable and fun trips I’ve ever had. He was perfect — he knew what each of us liked and somehow found all the things for us. His slow pace and attentiveness made us feel secure and allowed us to dive with zero stress. He accommodated our different styles and air consumption effortlessly. I will recommend Wakatobi to everyone!

There is nowhere in the world like Wakatobi Resort! You have ruined our chances of ever travelling to another snorkelling location because nothing could ever be as good. Apart from world-beating reefs, the resort itself is perfect. Our villa was just gorgeous and so comfortable. The daily services were much appreciated. The food was incredible — so much variety and very high quality. Our hot stone massage was outstanding. Lastly, we have to mention the staff — from the gardeners and boat crew to the restaurant staff, reception, and our butlers — everyone was so friendly and helpful. A special thank you to our snorkelling guides for taking us out three times a day, always with a smile and their magical ability to find and name creatures large and small.

The staff are amazing — so helpful and friendly, nothing is too much. Our dive master was very helpful and attentive to our ability and helped us a great deal. He also pointed out things — fish and corals — that we would never have noticed. He increased our education enormously. We would like to thank him for being so personable and friendly — he made us laugh a lot. The resort speaks for itself — wonderful.

The Pelagian offers the best diving, best food, and best live-aboard boat in the business. The staff are energetic, very knowledgeable, and eager to please. We were treated like royalty from the moment we stepped on board and were sad that the trip had to end. We highly recommend the Pelagian and consider it a once-in-a-lifetime experience. That’s why we’re coming back soon!

We spent a week at Wakatobi Resort and a week on the Pelagian. It was the best diving experience we have ever had in over 40 years of diving. It is a first-class operation in every sense — food, service, accommodations, and diving. We were treated like family for two weeks and will never forget the Wakatobi experience. The staff’s attention to detail and positive attitude was remarkable. I have run out of superlatives to describe the experience. Book your trip as soon as you can!

The organisation in both areas — diving and accommodation — has been so pleasing to us and, in our opinion, so perfect that we cannot identify any points for improvement in the service. Because of your kindness, courtesy, warm treatment, and excellent service, we can only feel happy and grateful. Thank you very much. We will not forget you. Hopefully life will allow us to return someday.

We have been truly cared for by the entire staff and are very grateful for our time here. Our dive guide was a true example of professionalism tempered with humour and a deep connection to the undersea world. His daily briefings were perfectly presented in an understandable format, and his big smile and positive attitude made every day lovely. We felt safe and well cared for as new divers and are grateful for our new connection to the ocean. All of the staff here are incredible our dive coordinator continually monitored our happiness and made sure all was perfect. The attention to detail and friendliness of your staff is exceptional. The way you sorted divers into experience levels was perfect.

Amazing staff, food, and marine life. Staying in The Residence has been a dream. The butlers and dive instructors were so helpful and nice.
